With my GeForce MX4000, after enabling Xvmc, and setting CPU profile to "CPU--", then HDTV played okay whenever OSD wasn't on. I upgraded to 8400GS and reinstalled Knoppmyth. Now it doesn't work at all: Screen OSD blinks once against black, then mythfrontend becomes unresponsive while sucking all CPU cycles. I have to kill the frontend process. (The OSD, btw, is color, so I think Xvmc is not working EVEN THOUGH I see "UseEvents" "True" in place already in xorg.conf). So in short, - lockup / CPU max / black screen when entering Watch TV - Xvmc not enabled, even though it should be?? Help! UPDATE: So I tried an R6 install instead. While r6 looks very, very cool, I had same display problem pretty much as above. But to add to that, there was no way to force TV-out output, even though it is in the menus now. Why would this 8400GS be so much worse than the underpowered MX4000 for HD? |

I dont' believe the 8xxx line suport XvMC. So, use VDPAU instead. |

I installed VDPAU as per http://linhes.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=243, but it broke transcoding and commerical flagging. Maybe this isn't the best way to get VDPau? (I'm not a linux guy, so good solutions aren't always obvious to me.) Thank you somebody for your help! Here is how I installed VDPAU ("breaking" mythtv) Murder she wrote: pacman -Sy
(pacman -Rd nvidia) pacman -Rd mythtv pacman -S mythtv-vdpau pacman -Sy pacman -Rd mythtv mplayer pacman -S mythtv-vdpau mplayer-vdpau-nogui [ Then created a VDPAU playback profile in MythTV. ] So question I guess -- is there a better or "right" way to get VDPAU working for my card? |

Are there any .pacsave files that would contain the mythtv files needed for transcoding? I have seen that the pacman -Rd mythtv does this with the is.xml controlling the online streams. See this thread for more. Perhaps that is what happened? |

Commercial flagging and transcoding seem to be working now in the newer preview. My God, I think, possibly, I'm there! Murder she wrote: pacman -S linhes-scripts
Now, I've done so many things, I hope updating the scripts is all I needed. If it is anything else I did, I've forgotten and it's lost in time. Anyway, I'm not touching anything anymore, this works finally... I think. Thank you Graysky for oft helping me to get here! |
